My
paper on FamilyRelations etc. has finally been reviewed; both
reviewers liked it, although one requested some clarifications before
final acceptance. I'm fixing it today and will send it in within the
week; assuming I don't screw up the revisions, it'll be out by Apr
1st. No mention of the "publicly available software isn't original
any more" nonsense
of BioTechniques.

Spent some time working out some simple math on motif finding. Will talk
about it in more depth when I have the energy ;).

British books, again

Alistair Reynolds has a new book "Century Rain" (ref).
Jon Courtenay Grimwood has a new book "Stamping Butterflies" (ref).
Richard Morgan has a new book, "Woken Furies" (ref). Iain Banks, John Meaney, and Steven Erikson all have new books out, too. What do all of these people have in common? They're published in
England, so I can't get them without paying $exorbitantly$ for shipping.

I may see if Munro's Books
can special order any of these and then tranship them to me in the US.
Hefty price tag, tho, to buy that many books at once. Sigh.
